Marimekko

The cheerful, brightly coloured flowers popularised by Marimekko in the 60s and 70s are so strongly associated with Finnish design that they should be on the nation’s flag. The company founded by Finnish designers Viljo and Armi Ratia in 1951 remains one of Scandinavia’s strongest labels. The full impact of this extraordinary company’s aesthetic will be revealed in Marimekko – Fashion and Design, an exhibition at Helsinki’s Design Museum which runs from 18 March to 29 May 2011.
